Transfer Station
Vernon Transfer Station
04-0004, #0007A, Vernon, CT 06066, United States
Small town transfer station used by Vernon residents and nearby towns for dropping off household trash and recyclables. It’s a compact site where loads get crushed and sent off to out-of-state landfills, so locals swing by instead of driving far for disposal.
Pull up to an entrance booth first; attendants will direct vehicles where to stop. There’s usually a scale involved and vehicles are weighed so expect to be stopped a second time on the way out. The site feels industrial-piles of compacted material, big trucks coming and going, and separate bins or drop-off points for recyclables. Lines build on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have town transfer station permit or proof of residency visible in the vehicle-many Connecticut towns require permits for use.
- Secure loose items and tarp loads; trucks and compactors are active and debris can shift when driving through the site.
- Try weekday afternoons if possible to avoid the longer weekend lines commonly seen during cleanup seasons.
